No. We do not forgive ignorance nor intentional ignoring established netiquette which for example requires you to actually search the archives and to read the FAQ before posting.
I did notice however, not sure which version, but between 1.3.1 and 1.3.3 U-boot
Well, please find out which specific version (git commit ID) caused any changes...
That my MAC for my Ethernet device was no longer being passed into linux, or perhaps over written by the blob.
I see. And now you expect us to guess which processor architecture this is, and what board, and you don't even give us a version?
You expect too much.
What is the current operation / priority of how MACs are passed into Linux 2.6.24+ vs the U-boot 1.3.3+ environment string?
It dpeneds on a lot of things, including processor architecture in U-Boot, processor architecture in Linux, etc.
